I usually said "ouch!" when Sugar would accidentally bite or claw me, and that worked well enough. On the other hand, I think part of the reason Princess bites and grabs (my leg or arm) is either to stop me from doing what I'm doing or to get my attention so that I'll play with her. She stops quickly once I hiss; but it doesn't stop her from doing it again the next time.
I am presently trying to boost Sugar's esteem by taking her side. I didn't want to have to do that, but I see no other options and it's helping a bit; at least she comes out during the day when I'm not here to spend time with Eric. When I'm home, Princess is usually following me around, so Sugar is less likely to try to come to me, unless I'm in the basement.
As for the telepathy idea, I've been trying to do that, but I'll try to be more consistent about it and see if that helps.
